Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Love that lantern jaw. She must spike her coffee with testosterone and say, “I am the fairest of them all!”

It's good to know someone will be carrying on after Limbaugh has gone. But no Medal of Freedom for Coulter. It's interesting how many Americans like to be told what to think. Or who to vote for. Where would you be without your "pundits"?

I had high hopes for a Biden Presidency earlier in his run. After another incoherent showing last night, I feel it’s time to put him out to pasture.

They just love owning the other side... Her shtick is to say anything to draw a negative reaction from the left, so right wingers applaud her and buy her awful books.

I think the consensus was no one did particularly well, so bernie’s retaining his advantage.

Yeah. I haven’t seen it, unfortunately.

I hope I’m wrong.

From what I saw of the debate, this headline is correct. However, I don't think it was a bad night for Bernie. It just wasn't a great night.

I can crow a bit about one of my predictions. After Buttigieg did so well in Iowa and Biden did so bad, I predicted that Biden would get a second look and end up with more convention delegates than Buttigieg. It looks like that is coming true. Biden is running close to Bernie in most of the big Super Tuesday states. Buttigieg is polling poorly.

the kicker here is the 15% threshold...if you don't get 15% of the vote you get zero delegates. It's possible that the only people getting delegates in many states are bernie and biden. If that happens, everyone will quit the day after super tuesday. Except bernie and biden.

which might mean bernie has a big lead after super tuesday but then the moderate vote finally lines up behind one person (biden) and he spends all spring catching up slowly. Then we get to the convention with neither having 50% but biden catching up.

I think amnesia is spreading rapidly, too. You clearly don’t remember 2016 & act like bernie is some new alien life-form.

ah sorry I withdraw that last.

it seems I wasn't aware of the congressional -level delegates. It's all too confusing but what I wrote in this post may not be right.

pardon the profanity, but this is perfect

I’m beginning to wonder if this is how Republicans felt in 2016 as they saw their party slip away to the crazy outsider.

it wasnt' just bernie last night - it was all of them. Just yelling and focusing on the wrong things. All trying to make themselves look like fighters.

ugh.

and the moderator questions were awful - just 'gotcha' questions without hitting the major issues the nation is facing.

I missed it.

Did they discuss the deficit and foreign relations at all?

Or was it the same as every other debate?

1) Bernie is not an outsider - he's been a politician for decades, people are not suddenly learning more about him

2) Regardless of voter preference, the overarching common goal remains the same - beating trump. The right had this same message about beating HRC/deep state.

3) No matter how crazy the headlines get with regard to some Bernie statement or past stance, he will never rise to the level of trump crazy. There is no equivalence between the two except that they both have potential to disrupt the political order. Other than that, Bernie is light years better than trump. Yeah the right is going to kick and scream under him much more than they did with Obama but by default he's going to being back some normalcy, common sense, and respect to the WH.

Yeah, so much for the calls for democratic unity...
